Can't access my flash drive or external hard drive

When I first inserted my flash drive it installed one driver but another driver for the "Chipsbnk UDish USB Device"; a message said Windows 7 was not able to find. The flash drive does not show up in Windows explorer so I have no access to its files. I unplugged the drive and re-inserted it -- a bleep sounded as usual when you insert new hardware but once again I have no access to the drive. No messages came up this time or in subsequent insertions. I have tried this flash drive in several other computers with no problems. It seems to be something unique to my computer.

I also have a Seagate external hard drive which is doing the same thing. I hear the bleep that says that the drive has been inserted but I have no access to the drive. Like the flash drive above it works fine in other computers.

I have restarted my computer, unplugged my computer and looked at assigning a drive (the device does not show up in order to assign a letter). I have several other flash drives and another external hard drive that work just fine on my computer.

Any ideas, anyone?
